Three of the key major hazards dust vibration and noise are discussed below dust dust is present in all quarrying and opencast mining operations while it is often considered to be more of an environmental issue dust is a potential health risk and it is the nature of the dust

Quarrying limestone digging limestone out of the ground can cause environmental problems quarrying involves making huge ugly holes which permanently change the landscapeuarrying processes like blasting rocks apart with explosives make lots of noise and dust in quiet scenic areasuarrying destroys the habitats of animals and birdset learn more

Moreover adjacent ecosystems are affected by noise dust pollution and contaminated water pits and quarries disrupt the existing movement of surface water and groundwater they interrupt natural water recharge and can lead to reduced quantity and quality of drinking water for residents and wildlife near or downstream from a quarry site

Sep 03 2018 dust is one of the most visible invasive and potentially irritating impacts associated with quarrying and its visibility often raises concerns that are not directly proportional to its impact on human health and the environment dust may occur as fugitive dust from excavation from haul roads and from blasting or can be from point sources

The robertsons quarry on cajalco is a public nuisance that routinely violates aqmd rules and regulations resulting in large amounts of dust airborne debris airborne health hazards noise pollution and their trucks create dangerous traffic conditions

52 dust deposition typical dust deposition rates 1 range from 10 to 50 mgm 2day in rural areas 30 to 80 mgm 2day in suburban areas and 80 to 160 mgm day in town centre or industrial areas the immediate site setting is rural however agricultural operations on the sandy silty soils may occasionally result in dust emissions

Uncontrolled dust and erosion can cause a multitude of problems for quarry operators for example the buildup of dust on site machinery can cause frequent and expensive breakdowns while dust that exits the site boundary through wind effect or on vehicles can be a nuisance to neighbouring communities

This dust can escape from the equipment through even the smallest of gaps and poses a serious risk to the health and safety of employees and the environment the epa in australia have strict air quality management regulations for each state for the mining and quarrying industries

Stone quarrying and crushing spits huge stone dust to the environment and causes threats to ecosystem components as well as human health imposing emergency lockdown to stop infection of covid 19 virus on 24032020 in india has created economic crisis but it has facilitated environment to restore its quality

Quarry operations impact the environment in several ways for instance quarry dust can change the chemistry of water resources by dissolving in them noise and mechanical shakes from blasting disturbs biodiversity and even humans who live nearby dust from quarry activities has been known to be the cause of many respiratory diseases and conditions

Introduction landscape planning controls water and caves dust noise and traffic blasting nature conservation planning controls apart from some rudimentary controls there were no planning restrictions on quarrying until the planning act in 1932 introduced the need to apply for planning permission in respect of development including quarrying
